Be a master through ancient times

"His Royal Highness, you are about to stand up and go to court."

The little eunuch sent by Zhang Fuhai stood in front of Yu Qiu's bed, calling softly.

Yu Qiu turned over and continued to sleep soundly. Yesterday's grand ceremony was too exhausting. For him, a child who is only eight years old, he was really too tired.

The little eunuch had no choice but to ask someone to come forward and help the dazed Yu Qiu to change his clothes and comb his hair.He didn't wake up until he carefully wiped the warm veil over his face.

After eating breakfast, surrounded by eunuchs and maids, he walked towards the main hall.At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the people in front could only illuminate a small area with their lanterns.Yu Qiu raised his head and asked the little eunuch next to him: "Xiao Quanzi, did your father also get up so early every day before going to court?"

Xiao Quanzi thought he was afraid of getting up early every day, so he comforted him: "His Royal Highness, according to the laws of our Great Wei, the Great Dynasty only lasts once every five days, because you were canonized yesterday, so today you have to go first as usual. Meeting the courtiers will be a regular court in the future, so you don't have to get up so early."

"Oh, so what am I going to do?"

"You are still young, just sit in the dragon chair and listen to the ministers, and they will teach you slowly." Xiao Quanzi is the successor trained by Zhang Fuhai. For a moment, it was already his person.

Yu Qiu sighed and followed the team to the main hall.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

"Your Majesty, please see His Royal Highness, a thousand years ago!"

"My lords, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

"I have a book to play..."

"I have a book to play..."

The ministers seemed to have a backbone, and they took turns to report the recent events. Because their wording was too cryptic and difficult to pronounce, Yu Qiu didn't understand almost a single thing.

But my husband taught him that when you don't understand something at all, you must talk less and listen more, remember some key words and sentences, and ask later.So he has been listening very carefully, nodding his head from time to time to express his agreement.

The old officials in the audience were very excited after being encouraged by the little prince, and even more people played.

After hearing a lot of nonsense, Yu Qiu finally understood one thing, that is, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and asked him what to do?

He will answer this question!Yu Qiu raised his hand suddenly, startling the ministers in the audience, wondering what he wanted to do?

Mrs. Wen wanted to cover her face, but Chu Ci gave them the habit of raising their hands before speaking, and they didn't want to be brought to the court by the crown prince.He stood up amidst the doubts of the ministers and said: "If His Royal Highness has something to say, you don't need to raise your hand, just speak up."

Yu Qiu said: "The lord asked me just now, what should I do for the New Year? I think so. In the past, every New Year was very lively, and the people also liked the New Year. The folks went there according to the usual tradition. But the palace A lot of big things happened, father and emperor haven't woken up yet, mother and concubine Zhang died, and this year in the palace... just..." He suddenly couldn't remember how to say that word.

"Are you trying to say that everything in the palace should be kept simple and it's not appropriate to make a fuss?" Mrs. Wen guessed his thoughts again.

Yu Qiu's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly: "Yeah, that's what I want to say."

Someone immediately praised: "The prince's heart is kind, he has filial piety, and he also cares about the people of Li. It is really a blessing for my great Wei!"

Others also said that Yu Qiu was dumbfounded. Did he say something extraordinary?

Yu Qiu's first visit to court ended in such a harmonious atmosphere.According to the usual practice, in fact, he only needs to show up and sit down to complete the ceremony. The ministers are very tolerant of the prince who is going to court for the first time.But he can put forward his own opinions, and what he said is very reasonable, which is enough to make the ministers overjoyed.

……

After going to the court, Yu Qiu went back to the East Palace and ate dim sum again. This was made by his mother and delivered to him. It had been a long time since he had it, and he really missed it.

After eating, Xiao Quanzi said: "His Royal Highness, it's time for you to review the memorial."

Yu Qiu had seen his father approving memorials before, so he probably knew what was going on, so he nodded and followed Xiao Quanzi over.

"This... so many?" Looking at the memorials piled up on the table, Yu Qiu stuttered a little in fright. He didn't seem to have so many on his father's table before.

Xiao Quanzi said: "Your Highness, this is only a part of it. Since the Holy Majesty fell into a coma, there is no one to manage the government. The ministers can only handle affairs and cannot approve memorials on their behalf. These are all the ones submitted by the Secretary of General Administration. Some will come later."

Resigned to his fate, Yu Qiu climbed onto the chair, picked up a memorial and started to read it. Before reading two lines, he asked, "Xiao Quanzi, how do you pronounce this word?"

Xiao Quanzi said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, the slaves are illiterate." Most of the eunuchs they served closely could not read, and when they proclaimed orders for the emperor, they always passed on oral instructions.And the eunuchs who specialize in edicts can hardly serve in close proximity, unless they are chief eunuchs like Zhang Fuhai and Zhang Yuande, they can be free from restraint.

"Then can you invite Mr. to come in and teach me?" Yu Qiu was very frustrated.

Xiao Quanzi was puzzled and said: "Your husband, is that Mrs. Wen? You can call a scholar from the Imperial Academy to help you read the scriptures, or you can send the left and right ministers to discuss political affairs."

"Can we just call them?"

"It can also be passed on to others."

Yu Qiu thought for a while, and felt that there were many people who could do things well, so he said, "Then pass it on."

"Ah? This... the slave will send people over immediately." Xiao Quanzi recalled who could be summoned, and immediately went out to order.

Not long after, Prime Minister Zuo came into the palace.He was a little proud of himself, the little prince really relied on him more, and just after returning, he sent someone to pass it on.

But not long after, he saw the Right Prime Minister at the gate of the palace, the six ministers, the Hanlin Academy bachelor and other ten people, and he was dumbfounded.

"You guys came just in time, come and help me." Yu Qiu waited for a long time, and was very happy after seeing them, pointing to the memorial on the table.

"Your Highness, you should call yourself Gu instead of me." Prime Minister Zuo pointed out his question, which he wanted to say before.

"Oh, can I ask you to help me?" Yu Qiu immediately changed her name obediently.

The left minister stopped talking, and the others agreed by default.But generally speaking, there are no more than two people accompanying the review of the memorial at a time. This is also to avoid too many people causing disagreements and quarrels that are very inefficient.But Yu Qiu felt that many people were powerful, so he called them over together.

Yu Qiu didn't take out a copy for everyone to discuss and then approve, but directly divided the memorials evenly and put them in front of them one by one.

"Your Highness, this is unreasonable!" Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there has never been such a thing. How can so many people approve the memorial at the same time?

"But Gu can't recognize some characters, let alone write, what should I do? Xiao Quanzi said, you can approve the reply on your behalf, and then tell Gu, who agrees or rejects, and then stamps, isn't that all right?" Yu Qiu acted like how could you lie to a child.

Zuo Xiang glared at Xiao Quanzi, but he couldn't refute Yu Qiu, he could only discuss with others, and then reluctantly accepted the facts.Although this has never happened before, there has never been an eight-year-old prince directly supervising the country and participating in politics.

If the Holy Majesty is still awake, if he wants to make the sixth prince the crown prince, he may be opposed by some people.But now that he is unconscious and has already written the imperial decree, if they want to oppose it, who should they turn to?Now that the ancestral temple has been entered, the heaven and the earth have been revealed, and it is a certainty that the Great Wei Dynasty will usher in a little prince.

Yu Qiu hugged Yuxi and sat in the middle. Whoever approved a copy and gave an opinion after explaining the cause and effect, he slapped the jade seal down.

Because everyone is sitting together, some people who are small-minded don't dare to expose it, let alone show favoritism. All the approvals are made in a fair and just way.If they can't decide for a while, they will write it down for further discussion, and then ask Yu Qiu to stamp it.

Before noon, the hill-like memorials were all approved.Yu Qiu was very happy and said that he would invite everyone to dinner.Naturally, they would not refuse the little prince's meal, so they spent a meal on the veranda in the palace before returning home.

After the whole morning, everyone felt dizzy, and it was even more difficult for someone at Zuo Xiang's age.Only then did they realize that it seemed difficult for the Holy Majesty, because there were too many nonsense in the memorials of many courtiers.In one or two thousand words, often only a few sentences are the most important. If you don't want to make a misjudgment, you can only read from the beginning to the end, which is too time-consuming.

In order not to let myself be as miserable as today, the left and right ministers called their own people and told them to be concise and concise when writing memorials in the near future.

After carefully reading a bunch of nonsense, I found that he just wanted to ask whether the Holy Majesty was in good health. Such a note was simply disappointing.

……

Yu Qiu settled the memorial and thought he could rest in the afternoon.Unexpectedly, Xiao Quanzi led him to the study room again.

A somewhat familiar figure stood there, and when he saw Yu Qiu, he just saluted.

"Li Changshi?" This is the lecturer he used to study with other people, why is he here?This person is extremely old-fashioned and has a very cold personality. No one is not afraid of him.

Li Changshi said: "Since His Royal Highness is still young and has only a half-knowledge about many things, after discussion among the ministers, you still need to go to the study room every afternoon to study and read the Four Books and Five Classics and the works of various schools of thought. So that you can be on your own as soon as possible, and become the mainstay of my Great Wei as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Yu Qiu's chest heaved violently, his eyes were red and red, and finally he sat down under his gaze.He was crying silently while holding the book, thinking that being a prince is so difficult.He wanted to go back to Zhangzhou Mansion. There was neither a gentle and knowledgeable gentleman nor a companion to study with him.
